I am asking this because my dd is 14 and seems to just want to go on the computer to chat with friends or watch tv. She is very good and does all her homework first, of course(!), but doesn't seem that bothered about going out with her friends. She seems happy to be with us. Now you may think that I should be pleased about this, but I feel she should be going out with her friends more. She will occasionally go shopping on a Saturday with them, but otherwise hardly sees them (except at school). She tells me that she has had enough by the time she gets home and isn't too bothered about seeing them all the time.
Is this normal behaviour? Her friends don't seem to go out much either - may be I am just worrying unnecessarily. I don't want her hanging about the streets with a can of cider either.
